Yeah, I had a 22" Apple Cinema Display (LCD panel) that developed a bad column of pixels.

Please humor me. When did this problem develop? One day, one week, one month after you fired it up? That's the most bad pixels I've ever heard of.

It happened one day when the ACD was about 5 months old. Losing a column is not that rare, relative to all the problems that happen to an LCD panel. But problems with LCDs in general don't happen very often. (Unless yours has a problem, then it's 100%.)
